It was previously established that a 37-year-old local resident left his vehicle in the bicycle parking area every day without equipping it with a locking device. The suspect took advantage of this and decided that the bicycle had been forgotten by the owner, since it had been standing in the same place for several days in a row. After waiting for a moment when there was no one nearby, he took a vehicle worth six thousand rubles and drove it to his home.
